The unique CardioTrack heart rate monitor is specially
designed for accuracy, comfort, and durability. To get
the best performance from the heart rate monitor,
please read the instructions below.
HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
The heart rate monitor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the transmitter. Follow the steps
below to put on the heart rate monitor.
1. Refer to the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on
one end of the chest strap through the hole in one
end of the transmitter. Press the end of the trans-
mitter under the buckle on the chest strap. The tab
should be flush with the front of the transmitter.
2. Wrap the
heart rate
monitor
around your
chest and
attach the
other end of
the chest
strap to the
transmitter.
Adjust the
length of the
chest strap, if necessary. The heart rate monitor
should be under your clothing, against your skin,
and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts
as is comfortable. Make sure that the NordicTrack
logo is facing forward and is right-side-up.
3. Pull the transmitter away from your body a few
inches and locate the two electrode areas on the
inner side. The electrode areas are the two long,
grooved rectangles. Using saline solution such as
saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode
areas. Return the transmitter to a position against
your chest.
HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
The instructions on pages 11 to 17 of this userÕs
manual explain how the heart rate monitor is used
with the console. If the letters ÒPLSÓ appear in the
PULSE display, or if the displayed heart rate is
excessively high or low when the heart rate moni-
tor is used, try the trouble-shooting steps below.
1. Make sure that the heart rate monitor is under your
clothing, against your skin, and as high under the
pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.
Note: If the heart rate monitor does not function
when positioned as described, try moving it slightly
lower or higher on your chest.
2. Make sure that the NordicTrack logo on the trans-
mitter is facing forwards and is right-side-up.
3. Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the
transmitter. If heart rate readings do not appear
until you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
4. As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-
self near the center of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within armÕs length of the console.
5. The heart rate monitor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical
conditions such as premature ventricular contrac-
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
6. The operation of the heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
magnetic interference may be causing a problem,
try relocating the treadmill.
7. If the heart rate monitor still does not function
properly, test it by having another person try it.
8. The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
page 9).

HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
¥ Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each
use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate moni-
tor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off when it
is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the
heart rate monitor is not dried after each use, it may
remain activated longer than necessary.
¥ Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
¥ Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose
the heart rate monitor to temperatures above 122¡
Fahrenheit (50¡ Celsius) or below 14¡ Fahrenheit
(-10¡ Celsius).
¥ Do not excessively bend or stretch the transmitter
when using or storing the heart rate monitor.
¥ Clean the transmitter using water and mild soapÑ
never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The
chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.
¥ If the heart rate monitor
does not function prop-
erly, the CR 2032 bat-
tery may need to be
replaced. To replace the
battery, locate the bat-
tery cover on the back of
the transmitter. Insert a
coin into the slot in the
cover and turn the cover counterclockwise to the
ÒopenÓ position. Remove the cover.
Remove the old battery
and insert a new CR
2032 battery, making
sure that the battery is
turned so the writing is
on top. In addition, make
sure that the rubber gas-
ket is in place in the
transmitter. Replace the
battery cover and turn it
to the closed position.

Operation and Adjustment
THE PERFORMANT LUBE
TM
WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE
TM
, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right).
Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores
and department stores. Use only a single-outlet surge
suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage
surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must
have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or
less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the productÑif it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
